During the hypersonic flight process of rigid hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs), the flight-path angle and angle of attack are usually small and sensitive to flight condition variation, the accurate measurements are difficult, subsequently the formulation of states observers is an urgent issue. A distributed high-gain observer is proposed to reconstruct the admissible system state dynamics based on limited measured output. First, a distributed observer is proposed for the cascade strict-feedback system to ensure the global convergence of the state estimation errors between the estimated state in each local observer and system states, for the prescribed system initial values. Second, the distributed high-gain observer-based nonlinear control is investigated on the longitudinal dynamics of HFVs with partial measurable states. The rigid body system dynamic is divided into the altitude subsystem and the velocity subsystem. In the altitude subsystem, the proposed distributed high-gain observer is formulated to exact estimate the flight-path angle and angle of attack, and then the back-stepping design is proposed for constructing the controllers. The nonlinear dynamic inversion controller is introduced to accomplish the velocity tracking. Finally, simulation examples are served to verify that the proposed output feedback control possesses the superior properties of high tracking performance, fast convergence of state estimation error and easy-implementation.
